So close I can reach out and touch you
So far you would never glance my way
I see yourself in so many ways,
Just little dots surrounded by haze
I try to connect, to fill in the blanks
But your walls just continue to tank,
From your front and each of your flanks

Maybe I'll never breach that gate
Maybe it just isn't our fate
Maybe it's best if I sit and wait
Maybe you need this to make
Yourself stronger to take
Some future task that's not safe
And if I help you out now
Then you'll not be ready to prowl
And then you'd be so much less...

Safe

I wouldn't live with myself
Though right now I would tell
All of the pain that I feel
I know not the burden I feel
It is yours, that I know
I signed up for this...
I won't let go
Maybe it's best that I
Stand by and watch
As the seconds tic by
On my watch
As the pain...
